INFERTILITY

Sometimes parenthood doesn’t happen as quickly and smoothly as we like it to be. Especially with the busy
work commitment and increasingly stressful society. At Wendy Women’s Clinic you will have the support from
our friendly and experience doctor and clinical assistants. If you have been trying for more than a year,
we recommend you seek advice from us.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a form of artificial insemination. It is a relatively simple
procedure that enables conception by directing sperm into the uterus. In this process, a thin tube is
placed directly into the cervix, and a carefully prepared sperm sample is injected directly through
the catheter into the uterus.

IVF means vitro fertilization, or commonly known as “test tube baby”, because the woman’s eggs and
the man’s sperm are fertilized in a Petri dish. During the IVF process, a patient’s natural cycle is
carefully handled through the use of fertility medications. These medications stimulate the ovaries
to produce a number of mature eggs. At the right time, the eggs are retrieved from the ovaries. At
this time, the male supplies a sperm sample. The eggs and sperm are placed in a Petri dish to
fertilize before the embryos are transferred into the woman’s uterus.
